The Biggest Bombshells From Nadya Suleman and ‘Confessions of Octomom’


Nadya Suleman shared a rare look into her life as a mother of 14 in the Lifetime documentary series ‘Confessions of Octomom’

Sixteen years after welcoming eight babies in a Los Angeles area hospital, earning her the name “Octomom,” Suleman, 49, is returning to the spotlight and showcasing what life is really like raising the longest surviving group of octuplets — along with six additional children. “I’ve been hoping and praying to one day have the opportunity to actually share my true story, to have a voice when I didn’t have one at the beginning,” Suleman said on the Friday, March 7, episode of The View. “I chose to go back to my birth name,” she explained, “because Nadya at the time was intertwined with the pain affiliated with Octomom.” Future episodes promise to dive deeper into how and why Suleman was able to emotionally move away from her “Octomom” identity.
